What is CANADA? Whose land is it?

My wife and I moved to Canada about a decade ago from post-Soviet states, where we both grew up with not much more than our smarts and a strong work ethic. When we arrived, adapting/integrating Canadian values, especially work ethics, was a big deal for us. Those first few years were tough, we really had to hustle to improve our lives. Now, a decade later, we're both in pretty solid tech and science jobs. Our child had the incredible privilege of being born in Canada, and that fills me with immense joy.\n\nIt wasn't just our own grit that got us where we are now; we owe a lot to the incredibly welcoming Canadians we met along the way. I'm thankful every day for the awesome, kind-hearted folks we've met. Canadians are truly some of the best people around, and despite lots and lots of issues, Canada is one of the greatest countries in the world. I know this because I've lived and worked across many countries on many continents . We, Canadians, need to keep working to make it even better. I'm proud to be a Canadian immigrant. God bless my fellow Canadians.

Budget will balance itself, Canadian dollar and economy down and more crimes- Prime Minister Of Canada Justin

A political separatist cult takes over Canada...great..they dont speak English and crime is up in the community....

Bravo justin /Biden continue to interfere in india and support India becoming a muslim nation end result all hindus will be in usa canada and Australia

Friendly ?\nWar with Ukraine \nWar in isreal that Canada sells arms to aide the genocide \nHumble ? No far from it \nEven our own have no drinking water \nNo health care \nNo homes \nNo hope as the next dictator says \n“ I unequivocally support isreal “ ….. \nCanada is effed max

According to the news we broke 40 Million residents in Canada in the new year. They just announced that the Canadian population is already at 41 million as of last week. How can we absorb this many people. I would say the majority are from India. A lot of these new residents are amazing. But hear me out......For more than 70 years Canada has accepted diverse immigrants from around the world. These immigrants have always had challenges with acceptance and integration as they bought homes and had families and raised children to be Canadians. But these immigrants are economic migrants. They don't want to be Canadians like they used to. They want the PR, and the citizenship. But they want to work and move all that money out of Canada back to India. Then when they retire, they themselves will dump all their Canadian assets and move to India where cost of living and home ownership is exceedingly less expensive. Even their federal government pension plan money will move out of the country. I'll be totally truthful...MY perception of these economic migrants is that THEY HATE US. In India they are educated, come from Middle class and upper middleclass families. They want the PR and Citizenship so they can eventually pull their entire family from India over to Canada. But they have to Work at Burger king or Tim Hortons when they arrive. And the HATE and resent Canadians for it. \n Canada allows people to keep their foreign passports and citizenship. There are 300,000 people with Canadian citizenship living in Hong Kong, There are 450,000 people with Canadian citizenship living in Lebanon with a War about to expand across the border. We cannot continue with this.....every time one of these places destabilizes they end up on the CBC waiving their Canadian passports demanding the Canadian government do something to get them out. \n The Author of the video is correct. IT isn't about hate or xenophobia...Its about making sure that people who come here want to be here, Are taken care of properly, contribute to Canada and its development, integrate into out society and culture, and do not make life harder for the people - ALL OF THEM - already here.

In Surrey BC many Indian landlords wont rent to white people, black people, East Asian people or mixed couples. That's Surrey BC Canada. This contributes to the housing crisis.

I'm an immigrant myself but I don't have pleasant experience with people from India all my 10 years living in Canada. I rent a place where the house next door is owned by a middle-aged Indian woman. She rejected to split the cost when my landlord suggested building a fence between our place and hers, because one time her one tenant almost run over my landlord when backing up her car. Recently the Indian lady rent her house to 15 plus other Indian people who litter their garbage all around her house and honk their cars at night, literally making the atmosphere much alike those slum videos of India I've seen in the past on YouTube. \n​I've talked to a few of them about the noise, they promised me it wouldn't happen again but they never kept their promises. I have no clue how to communicate with these people anymore, I might as well look for a new place to live.

Stop immigration to Canada

Its alot at once thats for sure. Same with black people from the carribean in the 60's, 70's, 80's etc. Irish, Italian, 1900's. Its Canada! Its a multicultural Country why is this so surprising to people its litterally our History.?

If only immigration from India is controlled, then there will be absolutely no issues in Canada.\n\nThe problem is not immigration, it is immigration from India.

It is not that Canada do not want immigrants anymore. It is that Canada have to seriously reduce the numbers of immigrants and refugees it receives every year.

Canada is literally being taken over by India and Ukraine ?Not Good at all... FUCKKK Trudeau!

does Canada keep the money from those deported immigrants? if it is an YES, Canada made a lot of money ?

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

I agree with that hispanic guy,its like these indians they don't adapt with what is canada all about,they should need to adapt not pushing their being an indian of what they are,if they are stubborn they should be kickout of canada....they just bring their indian culture there,they spoke with their own language and it seems they have populated that place that seems to me their tagging all their countrymen to move in there....And what a shame that they are demanding something that they think they have the right ask the canadian government ....I think the Indian guy who is studying a police course will fail because his english is soo bad and speaking broken english as a policeman is a no no.....Ok the government should be fair to them then give them a chance like look for a job there like in 2 months time if there is no job for them they should be deported....legit canadians are having a hard time looking for a job and there people need to compete with this indians is not fair at all....

I am no fan of immigration from India, but the measure must be on per capita basis. If there is 3X migration from India, compared to, let's say Iran, it is basically Canada is setting 6X LENIENT immigration conditions for IRAN, given that India is 18 times that of Iran. \nIn countries like Germany, there are double as many from tiny Kosovo, as India and China taken together. I do not see debate on massive immigration from Kosovo in Germany.

Now Canada become exclusive hub of Terrorists, Gangsters and illegal islamists migrations. In will create biggers chaos in coming days.

too little too late, stopping immigration now would fix nothing.\ncalgary had their main water line bursted due to massive jump in water consumption, this happen even before their mayor Gondek gave approval for a blanket high density zoning across the city. Our woke politicians are wrecking canada while canada can't build infrastructure and mega projects in the name of saving the environment

Skilled? Tim Horton's isn't something we need to import people for. We need Doctors. I think there is a plan to turn Canada into the new India. Within 4 blocks of where I live there is now almost 30 Indian restaurants..... Might be a dozen other types. It's one thing to come here, respect the way of life and another to force your way of life on us. I love Indian culture and Indian people. But we have a culture here and i'd like to keep it alive. So many dramatic changes have happened just in the past 5 years. I welcome adding something. But not completely replacing what we have.

Why would a doctor or professional stay in Canada and pay 50%+ in taxes when they could move to the US make double the salary and pay 20% or less tax?

Canada to America is what Ukraine is to Russia, a lamer, more poorer version

bring the hindus . Vancouver canada is the place.

Canada is not a Global economic power, it's just another country like small countries in europe and asia. Forget about dream.

Massive unemployment in India a over populated country.Modi has done nothing except spread hatred amongst Hindus and minority Muslim and Christians. That's the reason amassive outflow from India to Canada. Study path to get PR, as reported by Bloomberg.Economic migrant not student?

But those leaving to where they are going they will cause the same damage their have caused Canada because they found her in good conditions

Many migrants are als leaving Canada. it is not paradise over there

Just an FYI who is watching this, its mostly punjabi folks from the state of Punjab that are struggling and desperately sending their kids for a masters. The other states aren’t this desperate to send their kids to Canada

Canada ?? third world shithole now!

whites they came from europe and they declared that inuites people will have to adapt to new culture from europe wow canada is for real inhabitants of canada who are living in canada for gegenrations ..this is a real propaganda video of white supermacy in north america

The old canadians are also immigrants from europe so dont bother about asian migration into canada thats normal since ancient times.

They are Indians have to go back home no more in canada ..

Indians bring they own culture they dont reapect canada. Whose faukt government

So to be clear they think they have rights. Think they can demand anything. They are guests in Canada. Guests. Not Citizens. Canada owes you nothing. It’s time to leave. Believing you can work because you can’t afford to go to school in Canada because you didn’t bring enough money to live Independent is insane. You want to come to another country and demand jobs and rights. Go home. Please. Acting entitled isn’t Canadian. Flip it around. If we went to India and demanded jobs. Demanded citizenship d demand rights we’d be kicked out. Send them home.

Canada is not worthy anymore ?

I want to leave canada for good

Nursing students who completed their studies here on CANADIAN SOIL should be the PRIORITY. I know nurses who got their education elsewhere in the world like India, finished just 2 yrs and working in Canada as a Registered Nurse, whereas we Canadians have to go to school 4.5 years to become a registered nurse. How is that fair??? It’s a fkd up system.

I am from India , 80 % of these Indians are from the states of Punjab, Gujarat and Hariyana and they mostly come to Canada with IELTS and degree certificates obtained via improper channels . I have hardly seen any one of them actually take a serious effort towards education . Canada is doing a very bad job filtering international students. The smart ones are being absorbed by the USA, predominantly from Southern India; while Canada mostly attracts the lower tire group from North India with lower productive value to economy.

Fuck Canada!!!!!!!

Canada is a Ponzi scheme. Immigrants are investors and the investment is increasingly not worth it. The government likes to squander money.

Justin Trudeau and team up with jagmant Singh bring million Singh every year to canada

“Canada has no culture”. Imagine being stupid and ungrateful enough to actually think that.

Howdy, \n Yes, ask people right across Canada, every province every territory..

100%. Not just students. Many industries are complaining about this. Logistics companies are the main issue as Sask is a problem maker as well issuing zero license for temp foreign farm workers just after the Humboldt crash. BC allowing foreign investment and stopping it cold turkey. These foreign investors have moved inward where they will continue to manipulate the economy until canada makes harsher sentencing for foreign interference and investment. We need more incentives and laws to keep manufacturing in Canada instead of allowing 3rd world outsourcing.

Gurdeep Singh is toiling on his family farm with no shoes BUT BETTER & CHEAPER INTERNET/CELL SERVICE THAN IS AVAILABLE IN CANADA!!! THATS BECAUSE CUNTADA IS A PLUTOCRATIC OLIGARCHY, A MOCHARY, A LIE OF DEMOCRACY WITH LIVING COSTS THAT THE MAJORITY OF CANADIANS CANT EVEN AFFORD!!! How are poor immigrants going to afford it?????

Canada is fine. Stay away from Toronto or Ottawa. The evils of the current government live there and we all pay the price

Canada is full go back . They dont respect Canadians.

the indians always coming to Canada, and they want immigrants to leave the country ? the Indians have to go back to they country

As a Quebec native living in Ottawa for the past 2 yrs. I have been following this issue. They left a bad situation to come to Canada to reproduce the same. Look up the many Honour Killings!
